"I am a General Contractor. I have been using James Legrand for his licensed electrician services for about eighteen years now and on over one hundred homes. Occasionally I have had to call them back to take care of minor problems or for a better final site clean up. Based on my past experiences, I will continue using Electric Alternatives for any electrical work."

"Shaun is absolutely the best. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere! I had a slightly unusual project, yet he was able to satisfy my request; obtained exactly the type of indoor surveillance equipment I wanted and did installation to perfection. He is polite, professional and an expert in his field . I plan to use him again for another project."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Check the matching breaker in your panel, since the number is printed on the switch. You can also tell them apart by sight. A 15-amp outlet has two straight vertical slots, while a 20-amp outlet has one vertical slot and one sideways T-slot.

The most common gauge for indoor outlets around your home is 12- and 14-gauge wires. But if you’re working with larger appliances like ovens, washing machines, or dryers (all of which require more amplitude), you might find 10-, eight-, or six-gauge wires to help support those hefty appliances.

The life expectancy of a circuit breaker is 30 to 40 years. However, how long your circuit breaker lasts depends on the condition of your electrical equipment, the amperage, your electrical consumption, and more. A breaker box that frequently trips from overload will last much shorter than a breaker box with the proper amperage for the number of devices and appliances in use. If your circuit breaker trips frequently, and you have also increased your electrical consumption, it may be worth upgrading your electrical panel to extend your electrical system’s lifespan—and save you the hassle of frequent power trips.

The hot wire is typically black, but it's essential to use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm the electrical wire color code before working on it. Neutral wires are typically white. It’s vital to determine which wire is carrying electrical current before proceeding with any electrical work.

Using a wire stripper/cutter, strip about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of sheathing from electric wires, depending on the application. A self-adjusting wire stripper/cutter works best, but a standard wire stripper/cutter with holes for different gauges of wire works as well to cut and strip away the sheath without damaging the copper wire inside.
